King & Queen; Bishop and Knights part of their court and lived in castles. WTAF is wrong with the booger eating morons at chess.com?
Well, it does make more obvious the malevolent dishonesty behind the expression.
Are they cold-bloodedly trolling for clicks? Or are they really that deranged?
All things considered, derangement seems the most likely.
Wait ’til they realise they’re using the very language of the ‘colonisers’.
‘Course they may have some inkling, hence their poor and infelicitous usage.
Chess club chuds?
Didn’t somebody recently link here to something about precisely that?
Scotland’s care watchdog says girls in care should share bedrooms with boys who self-ID as female.
Level of evil: Satanic.
Vibrators for lizards?
All things considered, derangement seems the most likely.
I’m sticking with booger eating moron too stupid to know the history of the game.

MPs have needs.
Don’t see that ‘booger eating moron’ excludes ‘deranged’ or vice versa.

That’s the conservative one I frequently see, right? Because she sounds like she’s speaking about pretty much every other commie news source out there.
Intentional misunderstanding: CNN commenting on the arrest of protesters at Columbia (who destroyed property, held people hostage, and threatened Jews)–“so if you protest something you are labeled a terrorist”. Yeah, only if you call holding people hostage “protesting”.
“colonizing”–if you read up on the history of England, over the past 3000 years they were colonized repeatedly. Celts, corded ware, angles, saxons, danes, norse, and then finally norse who had adopted French (the Normans) and thus the English royals have been speaking French since 1066. England is a multiply-conquered country that then conquered most of the world.
As Thomas Sowell pointed out much better than I can, you cannot undo the wrongs of history.
They switched to German in 1714.
But if wypipo learn a different language, it’s cultural appropriation.
I thought for a sec that autocorrect had gotten the better of you, but no, that was an actual ancient culture.
Learned something new today.
Apparently, safe spaces are only for the structurally oppressed.
Hold that thought.
[ Sounds of typing. ]
REALLY having a hard time objecting to this.
There we go.
What’s more, I strongly suspect that El Salvador would reject out of hand, and with contempt, any demand by an American judge that the gangsters be returned in the name of “human rights”.
When somebody tells you that black people cannot be racist, or women cannot be sexist, you know they are either insane or evil. If not both.
Their intentions are malevolent. Treat them accordingly.
